I'm inspired by old-fashion family picnics/vintage picnic recipes/elaborate food presentation/realistic food based drawings (wayne thiebaud)
Image Inspiration 6/19:
I've been finding it hard to set aside time to really get into this project unfortunately, but this is what I have so far!
Here's a small collection of items that I've found interesting and would like to encorporate elements of in my pattern. I love the look of vintage picnic baskets and considered creating a pattern solely based on this idea. However, printed on a fabric or wallpaper I'm afraid it might look a bit tedious or too busy.
My second idea was to literalize some tasty sounding vintage picnic recipes which typically don't have images that accompany them in the recipe book. I fear though that they won't scream "picnic".
I love the photorealistic look of some of the vintage ads of foods and spreads however for a repeat pattern, I'm drawn to more simplistic and iconic designs like maybe even vector based shapes and lines. (e.g. children illustrations and posters from the 1950s)
